Top This, Topshop!

For girls who walk into Topshop for inspiration more than purchasing purposes, I have got good news for you! Here's a true vintage floral print dress that somehow manages to look even edgier than its Topshop counterpart thanks to its unique black straps. Too good to be true, no?

Tip: How to wear vintage without looking old-fashioned (via Mystyle)

My Style has an awesome article on how to wear vintage without looking like a fuddy duddy, and also how to shop smart for thrifted and vintage fashion. This really made us laugh (and nod our heads furiously in approval):

2. Remember, vintage clothing is often preworn. "Smell the underarms, because you may be unpleasantly surprised," she cautions.

Aren't they just? The combination of colours and the prints are just so lemon-twisty-fresh that I almost wanna turn to them and say "good one!" (winks and clicks tongue, points two index fingers at them).

Please buy them and remove them from my sight!

Quirky Queen vintage top, both RM23
from the quaint shop.

Gimme some attitude

Ohhhh you know that love affair with them studs ain't over yet! Grab this piece of pretty in the form of a studded black mini skirt. Perfect for work or more 'serious' affairs, but only if you want to look like you OWN attitude. Yeah baby.

Blue Swank, RM30

Lemon, RM20

Blue Mod, RM25
all from I'm Your Personal Shopper

Love Me Do

Sweet but not saccharine. Really love the subtlety and quirkiness of this light, light, rosette chiffon dress. Pair it with masculine boots for an interesting contrast ;)

from ONE DAY

Can You Believe It?

A vintage blouse that is NOT oversized. Tailored to fit with a refreshing colour mix of checkers and the cherry on top of the cake - a sweet little bow! Wear it prim and proper with high waisted shorts or rock it out with black cigarette pants.

Adorable sailor

The ONE piece that is worth being on the waiting list for. Adorable sailor mini dress in the cutest cut ever!
Polka the sailor girl, RM29*
Available at HeartWear Vintage
*Promotion til 6 Aug~ 1 pc for RM29; 2 for RM50; 3 for RM70!

Slouchy style

Get those creative juices flowing with this slouchy, drapey vest in basic black! Layer it over your basic tee, or an oversized one, and go for ballet flats. Slouching may be bad for you, but not when you look this good ;-)

Drape, RM15
Available at Preloved Junkies

Gingham goodness

Sundaes and fries at the diner, you'd be as cute as a doll in this red and white gingam top! The generous V-collar injects casual fun into this printed blouse. Shorts and mary janes, and a thick satin headband is all you need to get Archie's heart-- though I'd much rather prefer just a sundae :-P
Red and white gingham blouse, RM25
Available at Naked Toast on Fat Girls
p/s: Calling all petites... XXS Supre dress in-store too!

Nostalgic Charm

Old sewing machines your grandma used to have (she made you your first full-length, puffsleeve nightgown), little denim overalls with visible stitching. They've got it all here! It's nenenebubu I'm talking about! A little shop spewing hand-made goodness with a distinct vintage slant.

Blazer, RM32.

Oops! Big Ear! RM32
both from nenenebubu.

Hip to be Stiff AGAIN

Stiff little dresses are incredibly Twiggy-esque, don't you think? Just pair with tights and put on lashings of mascara! Wear that doe-eyed expression and crop your hair for that full-on effect (yes, we're getting a bit carried away).

Crew Neck Dress, RM29
from The Wearables.

Hip to be Stiff

Short, cute, geometrical, with double pockets! AND in a totally retro colour. Show off those long, long legs in this altered vintage dress with just the right amount of stiffness, originally from Like, Seriously.

Vintage Linen Sheath Dress, RM36
from Rag-Re-home
